Zayn, who is dating Gigi Hadid, 22, became the first British male solo artist to go directly to number one on the US Billboard 200 chart with his debut release, A Mind Of Mine.

He rose to prominence on The X Factor in 2010, where he teamed with Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan to form a new, young boy band.

Coming third on the reality show, the boys rocketed to stardom after the release of their first record - and went on to sell a whopping 20 million albums worldwide.

Zayn decided to quit in March 2015, reasoning that he wants to be a 'normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight.'

Gigi talked about her relationship with Zayn on The Ellen Show in February.

'We actually met at a friend’s birthday party a few years ago and then he was in New York to come to the Victoria’s Secret show last year I think and ended up not coming,' Gigi said. 'I was like I’ll play it cool. I’ll go to the after party… he wasn’t there.
